Prominent human rights lawyer Amal Clooney is welcome to defend Rappler chief Maria Ressa, but she may have been deceived into joining her legal team, Malacañang said Tuesday.
Presidential Spokesman Salvador Panelo claimed that Clooney was “misinformed” about the cases of Ressa, and offered to “educate” her in case they meet.
“Siguro kapag nagkita kami [Maybe when we meet], I can, to use the word of the President, educate her,” he added. At the Palace press conference, Panelo appeared thrilled with Clooney’s decision to join Ressa’s legal team, saying she is “beautiful and sexy.” “Palagay ko naghahanap lang sila ng katapat ko [I think they were looking for my match]” he said when asked to comment about Clooney joining Ressa’s legal camp.
